History:

Maria Manuela, Princess of Portugal, was born in Coimbra (Portugal) on 15 October 1527 and died in Valladolid on 12 July 1545 a few days after giving birth to her only son Carlos. Princess of Asturias and Infanta of Portugal, daughter of John III of Portugal and Catherine of Austria. Nephew of King Charles I of Spain.

Maria Manuela was the first wife of the future king Philip II, her first cousin, when he was still Prince of Asturias and ruled in the name of his father Charles V the territories of the Iberian Peninsula during his paternal absence. Once the papal dispensation was obtained as they were first cousins, the marriage was celebrated by proxy in Portugal on May 12, 1543. After the wedding they travelled to Valladolid, passing through Tordesillas, where their grandmother, Queen Joanna of Castile resided in her castle. In Valladolid, they settled in Francisco de Cobos' house, Secretary of the future king. Prince Charles of Austria, Prince of Asturias (1545-1568) was born of this marriage. Manuela died a few months after the birth of her only son.
